A woman while travelling must either
be sufficient company to herself or find
such enjoyment as she can in the company
of others, who may or may not be congen.
ial- 1t frequently happens, after few
weeks, that mutually interesting subjects
are exhausted, and, perhaps, nothing but
hackbiting and gossip remain as ever
fruitful topics. Then it is that the world
appears no larger than cheese box, and
the thoughts and opinions of the members
of the company seem like the final judg-
ment Then is il that jealousy eats into
the soul, and life is narrower than
thread. jealousy and backbiting will be
conceded TO belong not alone TO the stage;
but as the stage does share in them to
some degree. it might be well TO include
them among the disadvantages. For all
this there is but one cure-the right en-
ployment of the leisure time in sight see

THE MIND-cURE TREATMENT.

Its Result. in the Case. Of Mrs Burnett
and Miss Alcott.
Lillian Writings letter.
It Is interesting to compare these cases.
There were Miss Alcott and Mrs Burnett,
both women of high character. position,
and attainments. Both were suffering from
nervous exhaustion, tho result OF years OF
creative literary work. Each resortsd to
the promised new relief, the mind cure"
and each tried the experiment. l believe,
without prejudice for nor against it They
were neither fanatics nor skeptics, but cul-
tiyated. intelligent women. recognizing the
possibilities Of higher or unknown laws, and
willing to test the claims made for meta
physical healing
Now just here note the result. Each lady
gave the system both under the same prac-
toner, Mrs Newman, fair trial, with the
result that Mrs Burnett looks and seems
well. and affirms that shs is so, and that
Mrs Alcott has given to the press an open
letter saying that she has received no ben
eft She says the experience Of the sittings
was pleasant and peculiar up to q certain
number; then they ceased 10 effect her in
any way, and she closes by warning people
not to waste time and money on q system
she belieyes to 10 Of little or no value
Let us keep in mind that the i'll health
was similar and from a similar cau-s-
literary overwork-that the two ladies were
Of exalted character and intelligence, and
that they had the same physician-a mind
curer. Now is there any way TO account for
the opposite results save that Of contrasted
temperamsnt,, Mrs Burnett has in . very
rare degree the inspirational temperament
She has something of the mystic in her
disposition. She is poetic, imprsssionable,
receptive
Miss Alcott. while imaginative, has the
practical rather than the romantic and
poetic temper amsut; and venture TO say
this, knowing that Miss Alcott has written
charming verse. as has also MIRA Burnett,
although neither Of the two make . speciality
Of poetic composition and both are pro
fe sional novelistS. But Miss Alcott's
stories arc of the realistic while Mrs Bur-
netts are Of the romantic school Now
without making any invidious distinction
which would Be impossible bstws two
women who are each 20 notable and so
highly esteemed, might not this difference
Of temperament account for the differeut
results in their experiment Of the meta
physical cure. Very likely do not more
than approximate. In ths truth. IL that, in
this crude generalization.

THE BEST MEDICLAL writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, eas! of application,
and one that will, by its own action. reach
all the remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history of the efforts to treat catarrh
during the past few years obliges us to adj
nit that only one remedy has completely
met thess conditions, and that * Ely'S
Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant rem
edy has mastered catarrh as nothing else
has ever done. and both physicians and pa
tients freely concede this fact. The more
